R bugzilla review

Introduction

What is the bugRzilla Package?

BugRzilla is an R package that helps the user to interact with the Bugzilla through an API.

To learn more, see bugRzilla.

About the bugRzilla Google Summer of COde Project:-

bugRzilla is a package to interact with a bugzilla API and specially with R bugzilla. The goal of the project is to help users to submit issues to R Bugzilla.

About the This Project:-

Explore the issues and bugs on the R Bugzilla to make the submission from bugRzilla better. It might help to identify useful patterns for R core or report the status of the R Bugzilla.

To learn more, see bugzilla_viz.

Setup Database on your local system

Download SQL and MySQL Workbench

To install SQL on Ubuntu one can refer a blog post by digitalocean. To install MySQL workbench on Ubuntu one can refer a blog post by linuxhint

Download R_bugzilla data

1. The R_bugzilla data can be downloaded from link.
2. Since the downloaded data is a zip file so make sure you unzip the file by directly using extract here option to the folder you desire before dumping the file which will have an extension .sql (eg: R-bugs.sql).

Dump downloaded R_bugzilla to MySQL workbench.

Before one import the R_bugzilla SQL file one needs to create the (empty) database from MySQL if it doesn’t exist already and the exported SQL don’t contain CREATE DATABASE (exported with –no-create-db or -n option), before you can import it.

After considering this open your Terminal and run the command: mysqldump -u my_username -p database_name > output_file_path or you can use mysql using the command: source <Path>/R-bugs.sql;

The options in use are:

1. The -u flag indicates that the MySQL username will follow.
2. The -p flag indicates we should be prompted for the password associated with the above username. database_name is of course the exact name of the database to export. eg. bugRzilla is the empty database you created.
3. The > symbol is a Unix directive for STDOUT, which allows Unix commands to output the text results of the issued command to another location. In this case, that output location is a file path, specified by output_file_path.

For Example,

1. At the command prompt, run the following command to launch the mysql shell and enter it as the root user: mysql -u root -p
2. When you’re prompted for a password, enter the one that you set at installation time, or if you haven’t set one, press Enter to submit no password. The following mysql shell prompt should appear: mysql>
3. In MySQL, I used this to dump the data in the empty database:
   • Create an empty database: create database bugRzilla;
   • To check wheather the database is created or not use: show databases;
   • Once an empty database is created then to dump the SQL data in the database use: source /home/data/Documents/GSOC/R-bugs.sql;

   • To check your database is dumped correctly use: show tables;

     mysql> show tables;

Note:The Column estimated_time and remaining_time only contains the integer value. So, It can’t be transformed to Date format datatype. Also there are columns which are empty so they are of no use of the analysis like:

1. target_milestone
2. qa_contact
3. status_whiteboard

First steps, check the data and prepare it for what we want:

#converting the required fields in the correct datatype format
bugs_df <- bugs_df %>%
    mutate_at(vars("creation_ts", "delta_ts", "lastdiffed", "deadline"), as.Date)
# Taking the columns which are useful
bugs_df <- bugs_df %>%
    select("bug_id", "bug_severity", "bug_status", "creation_ts", "delta_ts", "op_sys", "priority", "resolution", "component_id", "version", "lastdiffed", "deadline")

About the Bugs Data used for Analysis

I’ve taken the 12 columns under consideration to Analyse the Data. The brief description about the columns as follows:

1. bug_id: Unique numeric identifier for bug.
2. bug_severity: How severe the bug is, e.g. enhancement, critical, etc.
3. bug_status: Current status, e.g. NEW, RESOLVED, etc.
4. creation_ts: When bug was filed.
5. delta_ts: The timestamp of the last update on the bug. This includes updates to some related tables (e.g. “longdescs”).
6. op_sys: Operating system bug was seen on, e.g. Windows Vista, Linux, etc.
7. priority: The priority of the bug (P1 = most urgent, P5 = least urgent).
8. resolution: The resolution, if the bug is in a closed state, e.g. FIXED, DUPLICATE, etc.
9. component_id: Numeric ids of the components.
10. version: Version of software in which bug is seen.
11. lastdiffed: The time at which information about this bug changing was last emailed to the cc list.
12. deadline: Date by which bug must be fixed.

Visualizations

bug_created <- bugs_df %>%
    ggplot(aes(x = creation_ts, y = bug_id)) +
    geom_line(color = "darkorchid4") +
    labs(title = "Bug Creation",
           subtitle = "The data frame is sent to the plot using pipes",
           y = "Bug ID",
           x = "Date") +
    theme_bw(base_size = 15)
ggplotly(bug_created)

From the above the visualizations, The Time-series graph shows that which bug_id was filed in which month and year and from the bar graph we can conclude that in which year the most bugs are filed and when one will zoom the graphs, one can see on which date which bug was filed. The most of the Bugs are filled in the month of January and July.

last_modified <- bugs_df %>%
    ggplot(aes(x = lastdiffed, y = bug_id)) +
    geom_line() +
    labs(title = "Bug Last Modified",
         y = "Bug ID",
         x = "Date") +
    theme_bw(base_size = 15)
ggplotly(last_modified)

From the above the visualizations, The Time-series graph shows that which bug_id was last update. Most of the bugs are last updated in the month of January,March, April, and July and in the year from 2014 to 2016 most bugs are modified and in 2019 to 2020 most bugs are filed.

# Plotting the Time Series graph with the bug_id and delta_ts
last_modified_graph <- bugs_df %>%
    ggplot(aes(x = delta_ts, y = bug_id)) +
    geom_point() +
    labs(title = "Bug changing was last emailed to the cc list",
           y = "Bug ID",
           x = "Date") + theme_bw(base_size = 15)
ggplotly(last_modified_graph)

From the above the visualizations, The Time-series graph shows that which bug_id was last update. Most of the bugs are last updated in the month of January,March, April, and July.

Resolution_graph <- ggplot(bugs_df,aes(x = resolution)) +
    geom_bar() +
    scale_x_discrete(guide = guide_axis(n.dodge = 5)) +
    labs(
        title = "Bug Resolution Bar graph with Bug Count",
        x = "Resolution",
        y = "Bug Count"
    ) + coord_flip()
ggplotly(Resolution_graph)

From the above the visualizations, The Resolution bar-graph shows that which bug_id belongs to which category of resolution, if the bug is in a closed state, e.g. FIXED, DUPLICATE, etc. As we can conclude, that most bugs belongs to the fixed category of the resolution.

Status_graph <- ggplot(bugs_df,aes(x = bug_status)) +
    geom_bar() +
    scale_x_discrete(guide = guide_axis(n.dodge = 5)) +
    labs(
        title = "Bug Status Bar graph with Bug Count",
        x = "Bug Status",
        y = "Bug Count"
    )
ggplotly(Status_graph)

From the above the visualizations, The bug_status bar-graph shows that which bug_id belongs to which category of bug_status, e.g. NEW, RESOLVED, etc. As we can conclude, that most bugs belongs to the closed category of the bug_status.

Severity_graph <- ggplot(bugs_df,aes(x = bug_severity)) +
    geom_bar() +
    scale_x_discrete(guide = guide_axis(n.dodge = 5)) +
    labs(
        title = "Bug Severity Bar graph with Bug Count",
        x = "Bug Severity",
        y = "Bug Count"
    )
ggplotly(Severity_graph)

From the above the visualizations, The bug_severity bar-graph shows that which bug_id belongs to which category of bug_severity. Most of the bug which are filed are normal, some of the bugs which are filled under enhancements are retested for some features, minor and major and a very few bugs are filed under the blocker category.

This graph is from year 1998 to 2021.

res_invalid <- baa %>%
    filter(resolution == "INVALID" & bug_status == "CLOSED")

invalid_graph <- ggplot(res_invalid) +
    geom_bar(aes(x = creation_month)) +
    labs(
        title = "Month in which invalid bugs are filed",
        x = "Month ",
        y = "Bug_Count"
    )
ggplotly(invalid_graph)

The above above Visualization is about the month in which is bugs are last modified where resolution is Invalid and status is closed. From the graph we can see that the most wast created in the month October having a bug count of 625 and in the month of Febuary having a bug count of 491 are created. This graph is from year 1998 to 2021.

invaild_year_graph <- ggplot(res_invalid) +
    geom_bar(aes(x = creation_year)) +
    labs(
        title = "Year in which INVALID Bugs are Filed",
        x = "Year",
        y = "Bug_Count"
    ) + coord_flip()
ggplotly(invaild_year_graph)

This Visualization refers to the Creation of the Invalid bugs. In year, 1998 the a total of 63 Invalid bugs are created which are least and in the year 2013 a total of 431 bugs are filed which are most.

priority_graph <- baa %>%
    ggplot(aes(x = creation_year, y = bug_id)) +
    geom_point() +
    facet_wrap( ~priority) +
    labs(title = "Bugs created year with their priorities",
         y = "Bug ID",
         x = "Date") + theme_bw(base_size = 9) +
    coord_flip()
ggplotly(priority_graph)

The above visualization gives the insight about the bugs when they are created and under which priority the fall like from the above plot we can conclude that the majority of the bugs are filed under the P5 which is having the least priority.

In the September, 2016 to October, 2016 and October, 2016 to November, 2016 their is a linear increase in the creation of the bugs. From the last_modified graph, in the November, 2020 a total of 51 bugs are last modified mostly in every week a avg of 2 or 3 bugs are modified from till 2010 but from the 2011 their is an increase in the modification of the bugs having a avg of 10 to 12 bugs each week.

Conclusion

In this project, I’ve visualized the bugRzilla database creating various visualization.

• Starting from the line-graph between the bug_id and creation_ts(date), this visualization is about when the bug was created. The Time-series graph shows that which bug_id was filed in which month and year and from the bar graph we can conclude that in which year the most bugs are filed and when one will zoom the graphs, one can see on which date which bug was filed. The most of the Bugs are filled in the month of Januaryand July.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_id and last_modified, the Time-series graph shows that which bug_id was last update. Most of the bugs are last updated in the month of January,March, April, and July and in the year from 2014 to 2016 most bugs are modified and in 2019 to 2020 most bugs are filed.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_id and delta_ts, the Time-series graph shows that which bug_id was last update. Most of the bugs are last updated in the month of January,March, April, and July.
• The bar-graph between the bug_count and resolution, this visualization is about the Resolution bar-graph shows that which bug_id belongs to which category of resolution, if the bug is in a closed state, e.g. FIXED, DUPLICATE, etc. As we can conclude, that most bugs belongs to the fixed category of the resolution.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_id and bug_status, the bug_status bar-graph shows that which bug_id belongs to which category of bug_status, e.g. NEW, RESOLVED, etc. As we can conclude, that most bugs belongs to the closed category of the bug_status.

• The next graph is plotted between bug_id and bug_severity, the bug_severity bar-graph shows that which bug_id belongs to which category of bug_severity. Most of the bug which are filed are normal, some of the bugs which are filled under enhancements are retested for some features, minor and major and a very few bugs are filed under the blocker category.
• The next graph is plotted between creation_month, bug_count and creation_year, The above visualization is about the number of bugs counts per month in a year. The Most number of bug count is 77 in the April, 2015 and the minimum bug_count is 2.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count and creation_month, the above above Visualization is about the month in which is bugs are filed where resolution is Duplicate. From the graph we can see that the most wast filled in the month of August having a bug count of 12 and the least bugs are filled in the month of December having a bug count of 2. This graph is from year 2006 to 2021.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count and creation_year, the above above Visualization is about the year in which is bugs are filed where resolution is Duplicate. From the graph we can see that the most wast filled in the year 2012 having a bug count of 11 and the least bugs are filled in the year 2007, 2008 and 2019 having a bug count of 1. This graph is from year 2006 to 2021.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count and lastdiffed_year, The above above Visualization is about the year in which is bugs are last modified where resolution is Fixed and their status is closed. From the graph we can see that the most wast last modified in the year 2002 having a bug count of 328 and In year, 2021 47 bugs are fixed and closed.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count and lastdiffed_month, he above above Visualization is about the month in which is bugs are last modified where resolution is Fixed. From the graph we can see that the most wast last modified in the month December having a bug count of 559 and in the month of September having a bug count of 228 are least modified. This graph is from year 1998 to 2021
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count and creation_month, the above above Visualization is about the month in which is bugs are last modified where resolution is Invalid and status is closed. From the graph we can see that the most wast created in the month October having a bug count of 625 and in the month of Febuary having a bug count of 491 are created. This graph is from year 1998 to 2021.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count and creation_year, This Visualization refers to the Creation of the Invalid bugs. In year, 1998 the a total of 63 Invalid bugs are created which are least and in the year 2013 a total of 431 bugs are filed which are most.
• The next graph is plotted between creation_year and bug_id, The above visualization gives the insight about the bugs when they are created and under which priority the fall like from the above plot we can conclude that the majority of the bugs are filed under the P5 which is having the least priority.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count and creation_year, This Visualization refers to the Creation of the Invalid bugs. In year, 1998 the a total of 63 Invalid bugs are created which are least and in the year 2013 a total of 431 bugs are filed which are most.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count, creation_year and lastdiffed_year, In the year 2015 and 2016, a total of 51 bugs are created and in the year of 2020 a total of 51 bugs are modified as well as in the year 2015, 31 bugs are modified. From the year 2013 to 2016 their is a peak in the creation and modification of the bugs and from the year 2003 to 2009 the is a almost a linear downfall and rising of the creation and modification of the bugs.
• In the month December, 2015 and January, 2016, a total of 51 bugs are created which is the sudden increase. In the September, 2016 to October, 2016 and October, 2016 to November, 2016 their is a linear increase in the creation of the bugs. From the last_modified graph, in the November, 2020 a total of 51 bugs are last modified mostly in every month a avg of 2 bugs are modified from till 2010 but from the 2011 their is an increase in the modification of the bugs having a avg of 9 bugs.
• The next graph is plotted between bug_count, creation_week and lastdiffed_week, In the December, 2015 and January, 2016, a total of 51 bugs are created per week which is the sudden increase. In the September, 2016 to October, 2016 and October, 2016 to November, 2016 their is a linear increase in the creation of the bugs. From the last_modified graph, in the November, 2020 a total of 51 bugs are last modified mostly in every week a avg of 2 or 3 bugs are modified from till 2010 but from the 2011 their is an increase in the modification of the bugs having a avg of 10 to 12 bugs each week.
